How about does Metra have a fix for the GPS that everybody is having trouble with that bought one on woot the first time these were offered less than 4 weeks ago. I have noticed all of these questions keep getting avoided. People should be aware of what they are getting ready to purchase. I have the mdf-5812-2 (FORD) radio and only got to use the navigation 3 times before all I get is a black screen. Check the discussions people a lot of us are having the same issue. You have been warned.

It sat in the box for a long time until I got the nerve to actually open the dash in my newish 2011 Jeep Liberty. I did have to buy a CHTO-3 adapter to make it work with the factory amp and the AWSC-1 adapter to make it work with the factory steering wheel controls. I also had to unscrew and remove the metal bracket that was behind the factory stereo to make enough room for this to fit. Wiring everything together was a bit intimidating but after sitting down and matching everything up it wasn't too bad.

I do miss my Sirus satellite radio and uConnect at times but I enjoy having the navigation and the iPod connectivity. I haven't had any of the issues others described but I also have not tried to update the maps because they seem to be fine in my area.

After some reading I am getting worried. First off I already know it will fit my 2005 Hyundai tiburon, but will I need anything else.

Second: this map issue, Is there a fix or are you waiting for everyone to forget about it. I mean you are a rep of the company...You can either make or break a sale here, so don't lie

Third: To all the people on here bombarding this rep like you are good god, did ANY of you do ANY research first? I was fishy about it even as I clicked the pay button due to lack of reviews etc. But I at least googled for 10 minutes....

Anyway...I have an aftermarket already in my car (single din crap) but if this doesn't work it will go back faster than a cat farts. So please Metra. Be honest, as all your doing is wasting folks time with resending units back and forth...

We are researching these "issues" a handful of WOOTERS! are having. Remember these should be installed by a professional. Please watch the forum as I will update any info as I receive it.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to reply to all of the questions and issues that have been posted thus far by my fellow Wooters. It's been an interesting discussion, and after weighing out the pro's and con's, I decided that I'm in for one.

I just purchased the Metra unit for my '09 CR-V LX (no steering wheel controls), and plan to have it professionally installed. Are there any additional accessories necessary for installation besides the wiring harness and antenna adaptor?

Will this unit actually fit perfectly into my current Honda factory dash, or will I also need to purchase a mount system like Metra part #99-7873?

Sorry if I missed this answer in a previous post, but I just want to be sure that I know and have all necessary parts upfront to avoid any unforeseen costs or delays at installation time.

Will the Metra MDF-8223-1 for Toyota Corolla fit a 2009 Toyota Matrix? The Matrix is officially a sub-brand of the Corolla.

The ford one would work but appears to be sold out.
You can use a universal radio and:
95-5812 kit
70-5520 non amped harness
70-5521 amplified harness
40-CR10 antenna adapter
ASWC-1 for steering wheel control

I already purchased it! So I need to buy all those parts to get it to work.

Metra, I purchased the gm model and I have everything hooked up but I can only hear the music and can barely hear it when the volume is turned up all the way. What is going on with it? And also I am beginning to notice that sometimes when I turn on my truck the radio will not turn on? Sometimes it'll power up when I press the power button and sometimes even the power button down not create a response from the stereo. And other times it'll turn on by itself when I turn the ignition on. You got any ideas?
